Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (3 ounces / 85 grams) strawberry-flavored gelatin
- ½ cup white rum
- ¼ cup lime juice
Liquid Components:
- 1 cup boiling water
- ¼ cup cold water
Garnish Options:
- Whipped cream
- Lime wedges
- Sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare a medium-sized mixing vessel and pour steaming liquid over the vibrant strawberry gelatin powder, whisking thoroughly until the granules completely melt and integrate into a smooth, translucent mixture.
- Incorporate white rum, chilled liquid, and zesty lime extract into the dissolved gelatin, stirring systematically to create a harmonious, well-blended concoction with a consistent texture and balanced flavor profile.
- Meticulously transfer the liquid mixture into individual serving receptacles – selecting shot glasses, compact plastic containers, or flexible silicone molds – ensuring each vessel receives an even distribution, filling approximately three-quarters of its capacity to accommodate potential garnish additions.
- Position the filled containers within the refrigeration unit, allowing them to solidify and set completely through a patient 24-hour cooling process, which transforms the liquid into a firm, trembling gelatin structure.
- Once fully set, enhance the visual appeal and taste complexity by adorning each jello shot with a dollop of airy whipped cream, a petite fresh strawberry segment, or a delicate lime wedge, creating an elegantly presented, vibrant party treat ready to be served and savored at a refreshingly cool temperature.
Notes
- Rum selection matters greatly for the overall flavor profile, so choose a high-quality white rum with smooth undertones.
- Experiment with different fruit-flavored gelatin varieties like raspberry or tropical punch to create unique shot combinations.
- Reduce alcohol content by substituting half the rum with additional cold water for a lighter version that’s more guest-friendly.
- Prepare silicone molds in advance by lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy shot removal without breaking the gelatin structure.
